Robot in the Box

Checking a claim together, without turning it into a lesson. Five activities and the cards the family fills in as they go.

Three need no screen at all. Two use one screen side by side, and both of those come with a screen-free route.

  • 5 activities
  • 12 conversation starters
  • 3 with no screen
  • Printable cards included

Your access link arrives by email. Sold under the Home Resources Licence. Buying two age bands together is done from the library.

A family around the dinner table at night: one child holds up a wooden TRUTH / LIE paddle, another peers through a magnifying glass, a third takes notes, and a parent makes their case.

Every activity maps to the AILit Framework (EU/OECD, June 2026): Engage with AI 3–4, Manage AI 3, Basic level. The same ground is covered in UNESCO's AI competency framework for students (2024) at its Understand level; each activity names its UNESCO block too.
